The reason for the same is in case you buy stocks and transfer them to your own Demat account; the shares cease to be a part of the SAMCO ecosystem, and hence would not be taken into consideration for the purpose of return determination. In order to avoid this, it is advisable to open a Demat Account with the execution broker.

Any transactions in stocks from this particular list shall result in automatic disqualification from the league.
